When should I start getting the required immunizations to get into medical school?
I'd say, some time after you complete all of your secondaries. Possibly after all of your interviews, depending on how late in the season you're interviewing. You could also wait until you're accepted and commit to one school. They'll give you a deadline to get the paperwork in.When should I start getting the required immunizations to get into medical school?
The only thing would add, is try to keep your documentation on immunizations if you get any from this point on. It may make your life easier when you finally apply.
Definitely when they tell you to, after your student health record is established at the school you will attend. You'll be reminded, and in general there will be a plan to get caught up in those shot that you are lacking or need a HepB/TB titer, etc. Remember, that the medical school/university will usually pay for those required immunizations if you wait (or alternatively, it's included in your fees).When should I start getting the required immunizations to get into medical school?
Every school is going to allow you to start. As long as you are working on it.The HBV is very annoying and I would get started on it right after getting accepted. It’s like a 6 month series (depends on vaccine) then getting titers checked a month after that. Granted most schools will let you start even if it’s in progress.
Edit: most schools only require if titers are below some threshold iirc
